RocketPort uPCI Quad DB9
The RocketPort uPCI Quad/DB9 serial port expansion card is
compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It
provides four “native” serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI
card slot. The serial ports with DB9 connectors support RS-232 serial
communications at speeds up to 460 Kbps. RocketPort products are
designed with larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those available in
a standard 16550 UART found in standard PC serial ports and low-end
serial cards, enabling them to handle the transmission of large amounts
of data reliably and efficiently.
They also utilize an on-board 36MHz processor, minimizing host
CPU utilization. RocketPort products do not require the assignment of
interrupts, simplifying installation and eliminating conflicts with other
server cards. Drivers are available for popular operating systems. The
product is fully compliant with the RoHS directive 2002/95/EC
